I have some very "iffy" info. on Thomas Tignal HILL. I think he is the brother of my Sarah HILL. (Sarah Hill b. 15 Feb 1812; d. 20 Feb 1857 Taylor Co, GA; m. c1840 Sandy Alexander SUDDETH.) Info. on Thomas Tignal (called 'Tig') Hill is that he was b. c1828 possibly in VA. While in GA, Tig Hill lived with the Suddeth family in Taylor Co. during the Civil War and removed to FL with the Suddeth family after the Civil War. Most or all of this party returned later to Taylor Co, GA, including Tig Hill. He later moved near Warrior, AL, and later moved to TX. Anyone researching him? Donna Wall in GA

Living with them is father-in-law Jesse Leaton. During these times of early travel, it is only natural to believe that a number of families would have migrated west together. Would be interesting to find record of these travels, families involved and reason for move.

Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10719 Surname: Hay, Pate, Robertson ------------------------- John, I have some information that Mary Jane Pate, who married Henry M. Hay, Jr., was married before to a Pate in Elmore County and her maiden name was actually Waldrop so if this is true she would not be the Mary Jane Pate you referred to? I have some more research I need to do to confirm this information though. I sure would like to make a connection in Georgia that would lead me to the parents of Henry M. Hay, Sr. I'm afraid I don't have any information on Nancy Robertson other than the fact that she apparently came from Talbot County, Georgia and that she married Henry M. Hay, Sr. on January 12, 1842 and they settled in Chambers County, Alabama before moving on to Coosa County, Alabama.

Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10718 Surname: ------------------------- Has anyone in Talbot Co. come across listings of Bible records published in FAMILY PUZZLERS, the weekly genealogy magazine edited by Mary Bondurant Warren from 1964 until 1998? I thought that HERITAGE PAPERS went out of business when Mrs. Warren stopped publishing Puzzlers the end of 1998. Not so!! I recently found the new websites for HERITAGE PAPERS as well as for FAMILY PUZZLERS, TNG, the monthly magazine edited by Mrs. Warrens daughter Amy Warren Sanders! Most of the items that Heritage Papers used to advertise in their annual catalog are still available, including back issues of the quarterly magazines GEORGIA GENEALOGIST and CAROLINA GENEALOGIST, lots of historic maps, as well as source materials for Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. Some bound volumes of Family Puzzlers are still available. For Heritage Papers, go to http://www.galaxymall.com/books/heritagepapers For Family Puzzlers, The Next Generation, go to http://www.galaxymall.com/books/familypuzzlers I just thought youd like to know, I did!!

Posted on: Talbot Co. Ga Biographies Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/TalbotBios/10017 Surname: BARNES ------------------------- The Barnes Family History In my attempt to chronicle the history of the Barnes Family, I have received conflicting information from family members. The people that had the most accurate recollections have passed on, long ago. I hope the following information will be helpful to future generations. The earliest documented record found was Louis (Lewis) Barnes signing a loyalty oath on July 29, 1867 to register to vote. He swore allegiance to the United States and stated that he never supported the Confederacy. The 1870 U.S. Census of Talbotton, Talbot County, Georgia listed Louis Barnes as head of household along with his wife Jane. Members of the household included: Louis (age 37), his wife Jane (age 28). Children: Bertha (age 5), Washington (age 3), an infant (5 months old), Susan (age 49) and Benjamin (Susans son, age 9). Census records also listed the family of Washington Barnes and his wife Jiny (sic) living in the Roughedge District of Talbot County. I am assuming at this point that Washington and Louis were brothers because Susan Davenport and her son Benjamin, who lived with Louis, were later shown in the 1880 U.S. Census living with the Washington Barnes family recorded as being his Sister and Nephew. Their children were also similarly named from each family. At some period between 1873 and 1879, the family of Louis Barnes migrated to the Atlanta area. Records of the 1880 U.S. Census of Fulton County indicate that he had a wife named Elliott, age 35 and two sons: (George) Washington, age 13 and (James) Russell, age 8. According to the census records, Elliott was born in South Carolina, as were her parents. I have found no evidence of the whereabouts of Jane (Hunter). She might have run off with a salesman from California as indicated by one of my cousins. The 1900 U.S. Census of Fulton County indicates that Louis (age 67), with his wife Elliott (age 52), along with their sons: George W. (age 29), James R. (age 27) and a granddaughter named Estele Miller (age 19) were living in the South Bend District on Humphries Street. The Atlanta City Directory of 1901 shows that Louis was a Blacksmith by trade and operated a blacksmith shop in partnership with Benjamin F. Lindsey on McDonough Rd. Also shown, he and his family now resided at 53 Ridge Avenue in South Atlanta. There were no further listings of Louis after that time. I have been unable to determine when or where he died. He did not appear in the 1910 census record of Fulton County although I still found evidence in the city directory that the blacksmith shop still existed until 1902. Fulton County land and deed records show that between 1898 and 1905, James Russell Barnes and George Washington Barnes purchased several parcels of land in the area called Brownsville owned by a farmer named Frazier from Fayette County. The area was to be later commonly known as the community of South Atlanta. James Russell Barnes, Sr. married Mamie Elizabeth Lesesne from Georgetown, S.C. They had (7) children: Leona Charlotta, who died at age 4, Gladys Althea, Thelma Ruth, Mamie Evelyn, Naomi Ermintrude, James Russell, Jr. and Alva (Alvin) Lesesne. Papa and Mama raised their family at 65 Martin Avenue in South Atlanta. The house is no longer standing. Papa Barnes was an excellent carpenter and participated in the construction of many projects in the area. According to his daughter Naomi, some of the projects were buildings at Spelman College, Herndon Stadium, the home of the Warden at the U.S. Penitentiary and the first home on St. Simons Island. I have recently begun researching the Lesesne family from the Georgetown, S.C. area. The earliest records that I have been able to uncover show Mamas grandfather listed in the U.S. Census of 1850 under The Free Inhabitants in The City of Georgetown. He was a Shopkeeper by trade and his family were not slaves. Family members listed: Nichrean (s.b. Nazarine) age 40, James (age 11), Saml, sic (age 7), Sarah (age 15), Susan (age 5), Martha (age 5), Emma (age 5) and Molly Lesesne (age 80). Judging from Mollys age, I am assuming that she is his Mother or Aunt. Census records of that era did not show family relationships. The 1880 U.S. Census of the Upper Wacamaw District shows Mamies family, her parents: James McCune Lesesne and Nellie Joy, her siblings; Hortnetia (Hortense), Laura and Alethea. Mama was born in 1883 and did not appear on this census. This research has been and continues to be an adventure. I will continue add information obtained from family and state and national documents. ___________________________ James Russell Barnes, III Great Grandson of Lewis Barnes

Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10715 Surname: HELMS ------------------------- John, I did reply privately to your post. Allen HELMS, who is a possible father for my great grandfather, Sampson Dawster HELMS, was a brother of your Andrew T. HELMS, I believe. More likely, the father of SDH was Charles HELMS, and the connection to your line would be more distant. Gene Helms in Dallas
Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10714 Surname: HELMS, ROBINSON ------------------------- Seeking information on Garrison HELMS (b. ca. 1813 NC), who m. 28 NOV 1837 in Talbot Co. to Mahala ROBINSON (b. ca. 1818 SC). Their children include: James (b. ca. 1839), Frances (ca. 1831), William (ca. 1843), Jasper (ca. 1847), and Jane (ca. 1849). On the 1840 census of Talbot, Garrison's household appears between those of Andrew HELMS (possibly Garrison's father) and John ROBINSON (perhaps Mahala's brother). Andrew HELMS' (b. 1780's) household includes a female b. 1790's and five others. On the 1850 census of Talbot, Garrison's household includes Frances ROBINSON (age 60, b. SC), apparently Mahala's mother. Garrison also appears on an 1857 tax list in the 1107th GMD in Chattahoochee Co, GA, and had four children of school age (6-18) enrolled in Chattahoochee Co. schools in 1860. Any information on these HELMS or ROBINSONS appreciated, and will be glad to share. John Mallory Land - McKinney, TX - [email protected]
Posted on: Talbot County, Ga Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Talbot/10712 Surname: EASON, HAY, HAYS, PATE, ROBINSON, ROBERTSON ------------------------- Clyde, I have Benjamin PATE (ca. 1805 Warren Co, GA-ca. 1883 St. Clair Co, AL), m. 01 JAN 1829 in Jones Co, GA to Nancy HAYS (ca. 1808 SC-1850's? Muscogee Co, GA?). Nancy is said to be the daughter of Joshua HAYS, who was next door to them on the 1830 census of Talbot Co, GA, I believe. I do not know if or how Benjamin is connected to the PATES in Coosa Co, but he and Nancy did have a granddaughter named Mary Jane. Some of their children went to Crenshaw and Conecuh Counties, AL, where they still have descendants. Also, I came across the following record, which may connect to your family: Sebb PATE [Joseph S.] married 09 APR 1893 in Walker Co, AL, to Mary Jane EASON, at the residence of the bride, by W. L. RICE, Preacher; security is B. M. HAY (Book C, p. 60; license date 07 APR 1893). I am also interested in your ROBERTSON connection. I have ROBINSON (=ROBERTSON in some records) in Talbot Co, GA, who were later connected to the PATES and allied families. John in TX
